Morphing Aircraft! Air Hogs SWITCHBLADE product review.

This is a most unusual Morphing aircraft. It fits into the "Will it fly or Won't it fly?" category, proving the unlikely.

Air hogs seems to be on the cutting edge of making unusual flying machines.

The Switchblade is certainly another. The motor configuration on the wing is adjustable from hover to forward flight.

Controls must be dealt with a gentle touch and trimming before flying, helps a lot.

Once you get the hang of it, it really is a lot of fun. We have bashed them into houses, trees, fences and the Earth and still have not even broken a prop!

It is lots of fun just to hover and land too.

Note: It is imperative to fly in a big space and then go high before morphing into forward flight. After morphing, keep motors running and wait till it levels out before trying to turn. Only pulse the controls to turn or it will turn sharp into the ground.

Once you get the hang of it, you will find this loads of fun.

Thanks for watching.

has anyone tried to change the battery to a hobby grade lipo that can be charged off the plane?

[subwofa]

mine never worked glad i didnt pay for it hahaha

You didn't hit a UFO, the motor got stuck or somethin

@donahuerules You have to put 8 batteries in the back of the controller, make sure the + and - signs are correct, turn on the controller and switchblade, it's suppose to fly after you've done that because the switchblade is already pre-charged

Just a question, next on the propeller, there's a tape strapped around it stuck to the wings. Is it for left-right propeller turning and if I have to remove it? Please respond someone.

mine had no power even new out of the box

Typical Chinese garbage. I have a different Air Hogs plane and the motors were not even aligned properly so it always flew in circles. Had to pull the motor off and re-glue it so the blades of each motor lined up. For $30 to $60 bucks a plane you shouldn't have to repair it yourself right out of the package. My brother bought the same plane as me, the Air Hogs Hawk Eye Blue Sky, and his flies fine. Much more control than the Morphing craft in this video.
